What's all the fuss about?
It's only moving about 200ft across the yard.

Listening to the last and first R/T transmissions on natsnet from the old and new centre has brought a tear to my eye.
The Delta pilot involved sounded like he was also very proud to participate in history in the making.
Another incredible achievement by a world leader in air traffic management.
